My 1st thought was B.S. Venison is one of the leanest meats out there, and any doctor will tell a woman she shouldn't gain very much during her pregnancy. I agree with whoever wrote there's no chemicals, etc in the meat...and yeah, the animal could have been diseased/sick/whatever you wanna call it...but wouldn't that affect everybody eating it? And wouldn't you notice or the butcher at the very least if you don't process it yourself? Just an observation...me personally, I'd wouldn't even give ita 2nd thought.
